If you don't do at least two of the items listed above (or part of 3 of them) then this achievement is not going to be doable.

Comentario de Mathredis

Here's some numbers first.

Number of mounts you can buy with money,reputation, profession and item currency: 77

Number of mounts you can get from achievments: 9 + 77=86

Number of mounts you can get from rare drops: 18 + 86=104

Even if you buy all the availeable mounts and complete the achievments you still need about roughly 66% of the rare drop mounts. This does not include class specific mounts, the mounts you cannot get by simply playing the game or the ones you cannot get anymore.

In my opinion Blizzard made this way too hard for normal players to achieve, heck even hardcore players will have a hard time if sticking to mounts you can only get by playing the game. This should be reduced to 70 mounts so anyone have atleast some chance to get it and it fits better with the acvhievment progression. 50 mounts to suddenly 100 mounts is a bit excessive.

Comentario de Mathredis

Yes, i agree. Achievments should not be too easy but this particular one is just ridicoulus. Acvhievments should be ACHIEVABLE after all. Sinister calling for example, sure not everyone can get it but there are those who DO get it. Heroic and raid achievments are hard but they CAN be done. Get to the choppa! will cost you nearly 15000g or more but that doesnt STOP you from getting that amount of money. The chances for ANYONE getting all the mount rewarding achievments and that many rare drops (or vice versa) is very, very, very slim. As for the mounts that you cant get anymore or the ones you get from the TCG, no REGULAR achievment should favor those who has been playing longer than others or those who buy cards with REAL MONEY. Thats why Blizzard implented Feats of Strenght for those. The Veteran Nanny achievment for example was removed from For The Children achievment because only those who has been playing longer than others could complete it.

@Zeekufy

Can you screenshoot your char with the mount? thanks, I want to see if it is worthed to get it or not! =]

Comentario de Cryptorchild

No, they shouldn't. They also shouldn't ever force people to rely on the RNG of the game. I believe I'd fall into the 'hardcore' category of players with a massive /played counter, but I've never won any of the rare mounts, and barely ever seen them drop. (Only 1 Kara mount, 1 Baron mount, 2 horsemen mounts) As it stands, it's basically impossible right now for BE players to achieve this currently, which I hope the irony strikes everyone else.

The race closest in relation the mount currently has no chance to earn it without winning 80% of the rare mounts, or 65% if they're a pally/dk/lock engy or tailor. That, is stupid.

Comentario de Exerel

God forbid there be an achievement that is actually hard to get. Yes, its hard, but it CAN be done. So please stop asking for things to be handed to you. Blizz has already made WoW "casual player" friendly, too much so if you ask me. Atm, nothing is challenging really, except for some of these achievements.

Yeah this achievement will cost you loads of gold and time trying to get the rare drops. But think for a second, maybe blizzard didnt want everyone to ride around on Hawkstriders, maybe (just maybe) they wanted someone with a hawkstrider to feel some sense of accomplishment because they had to do alot for that mount and simply if many people have the mount, it takes away from the sense of accomplishment and uniqueness.

Comentario de Zeekufy

Also its, the same mount the Cold weather trainer in dalaran has, just different color if you're horde, same color if you're alliance

Comentario de D558

If you get this achievement (especially within the next couple of months) you seriously need to rethink your life... This is beyond "hardcore" most sane people would count 50 mounts as hardcore, most sane WoW players I would think would classify 75 mounts as hardcore to nerdy (even by their standards) hardcore.

Like Akumas said most people who even have a shot at 100 mounts would already have all those other special mounts like the ZG tiger and raptor etc. and THEN would have to have other sorces as well such as spending money on outside real world objects. If your not already proud to have the extensive amounts of rare mounts or aren't impressed if you see more then 2 a day and still consider the game to have casual leanings then imo you may have an addiction problem with WoW or need to find a different hobby. IF you are one to also buy cards and stuff to the point where you own both the spectral tiger and the rocket then you probably should have put all that money to a good/better use or were extremely lucky and again should be proud of what you already got and not just assume that because you got it that it is also easily "handed" to other people. These are still only a couple of the rare mounts required that would likely be needed for most people to get to 75 or so...

So yea I have heard a lot of the whining about WoW becoming more casual friendly but if you don't agree this is bordering on the ridiculous side of things (at the moment), maybe you should rethink a couple things about your life...

Achievements10 (not including the one from this achievement, of course)Note that one of these is unavailable until Brewfest at the earliest as it's from "What a Long Strange Trip It's Been". Those that didn't already have the Brew of the Month purchased will have to wait a whole extra year!

PvP Tokens6

Ahn'Qiraj (not sure if these count)4

So there's a total of 85 (or maybe just 81) mounts that don't require rare drops or TCG cards. That's *way* off of 100 as every other mount is going to require a super low drop rate as well as buying the six off eBay from the TCG for over a thousand dollars.

With the work required to get some of these mounts (every single achievement, around 30,000 gold spent, Exalted with nearly everyone and 120 of each PvP token) I'd say 75 is a far more reasonable number, especially considering the reward is only +280% speed flying mount.

Comentario de Jeremiel

The AQ Bugs do count.I went in a party of three to farm the first 10 trash mobs, reset, repeat, etc.We each got all a Blue, Green and Yellow bug - that's more than 9 bug drops in total, as there were doubles - within half an hour or so.So those at least really aren't 'rare drop' mounts. They're basically 3 free mounts towards the 100 mark.

EDIT: With all the new Argent Tournament mounts, this achievement is now leagues more attainable.

Comentario de wadark

Here's a breakdown of all the game's currently available mounts (Summary at bottom).

Conclusion:The only way to get 100 mounts (as of 3.0.8) without farming for rare drops is to be a lock, pally, or DK, have Tailoring AND Engineering, and get all TCG mounts for Horde or 2 TCG mounts for Alliance. Or if you have certain unattainable mounts like the Amani War Bear from ZA, Big Blizzard Bear from Blizzcon '08, the various extremely old racial mounts, or the Arena reward Netherdrakes you can make the process a little easier.

As a Horde, you'll pretty much have to farm rare mounts. You have to get all the class and prof. mounts first of all, and secondly, you won't get the all the TCG mounts without huge luck or enormous real life expense (Spectral Tiger codes go for $750+ while others go for $100+). And if you get none of those mounts, be prepared for a tough run because you'll have to farm 12/14 of the avaialable mounts in order to procure this achievement.

As an Alliance, you'll have a slightly easier time, but without class or prof. mounts you'll still have to farm 8/14 rare mounts.

As a side note, only 4 of the rare drops are easily soloable, Green Proto-drake, Time-lost Proto-drake, Rivendare's Deathcharger, and White Polar Bear. The rest require at minimum a small group of 3-5 (ZG mounts, White Hawkstrider, Attuman's Steed, etc.), or raid groups (Malygos drops, Grand Black War Mammoth, Ashes of Al'ar, etc.). Certain classes at 80 might be able to solo ZG or maybe Magister's Terrace, but most can't.

Hope this helps.

(Quoted from my post on the alliance page)

NEW AS OF 3.1: It seems as though the gab between Alliance and Horde has been closed a fair bit, however, without class/prof/TCG mounts, you're still likely to need to farm a few rare drops.

Comentario de Caveh

I just calculated how many mounts you can get with two rare drops added in as alliance (just to see how much that would help out), I got 86 =\

Saw a post about them adding more mounts (yay!) so it'll be a little easier.

While I agree it should not be "easy", it's so ridiculous as it is that "easier" would not hurt at all. 5+ Rare drops? 20k gold mounts? We shouldn't need these to get the achievement, imo.

Also, my little kapcha or whatever it's called ended with QQ, lol. Funny considering I came here to bemoan the difficulty and see if this was going to be a bit more obtainable in the future.

Comentario de Royi

i never thought anyone could actually BEAT World of Warcraft, she is darn close :)

Comentario de Caveh

D'oh! forgot class/proff mounts!

I'm farming the Strat horse for my own enjoyment at the moment (the mount will be enjoyed, the grind isn't fun at all, lol), I can't imagine farming anything else -_- MAYBE the hawkstrider? If the new mounts are not "easily" obtainable (new class mounts for all classes? New rep mounts? More mounts like the 4 AQ ones? ), and rare drops are still needed, it'll be a bummer.

(My lazy butt is still 'meh" on needing pvp mounts, lol, but I have no problem getting them vs, oh... raven mount.)

Comentario de backtrakk

I am sure many alliance would give up 3 mounts or more to have PvP racials, or quicker access to home cities, its balanced cause one faction gets one perk while the other faction also has its own advantages...besides the idea of a Orc on a dragonhawk is too funny to be taken seriously....Big Green on Big Blue / Red =p

although all things considered most horde will have their pvp mounts long before ally, AV excluded, to me it seems fair, down rate me if you want, but if you call having less mounts a valid arguement, then i call faction racials a valid arguement, but in over 4 years, racials have hardly changed, i don't expect mounts to any time soon....

the time it takes for Ally to win AB / WSG without it being premade easily would cover 2/3ths the time needed for a horde to pve at least 4 mounts, the Hawkstrider is pretty easy to get, 5 people can farm that instance....the ZG tiger would be a pain for both factions though =(

raptor as well...

No, the Big Blizzard Bear is there. It's listed under Unobtainable because that Blizzcon has passed, although technically you can still get the cards for them on eBay. It didn't apply perfectly to any one category.

Comentario de Storias

This should be feat of strenght not an achivement, as you need a lot of feats of streanght to get it...

Comentario de ninkosen

You tard "you have to be a death Knight lock or pala" you say ? lets me say that again Death Knight ?I just hit 51 mounts today, and was hell to get there. But I can tell you for sure I will never get the brewfest mounts nor the Zul'aman bear...I'm not even talking about Halaa, as it is not impossible to get them but very very difficult. So hey don't talk about our 2 free mounts, even with thoses we are still in negative...

So don't try to let people swallow the fact we have any advantage...We never had and never will... In fact we are the only class with a disadvantage from every other, you can say it...and I accept it, we all acepted it when se signed /deathknight 0.0 achievements pointsDid I forget to mention that every single Death Knights need 2 &*!@ING years to get the violet proto drake ?

Don't speak of something you have no clue about...And people stop to complain, the 100 mounts achievement isnt intented to be completed in 3.0.8...It's like a "lets see what is comming guys, more mount on 3.1 you can bet on that"

I'm sure this achievement was supposed to be in 3.1 but they slipped it in along side a critter HF so that very very hardcore mount collectionners (im talking abou thoses real collectionners like the pets collectionners there were even before Achievements). Thoses will get their mount. And it's normal they savor the 100 ding now instead of 3.1..But there may be maybe 10 people in the whole world that will achieve it.

This achievement is for 3.1/3.2 get over it. Farm the rare mounts, have fun with it, but don't get !@#$ed off because you cant get to 100 in 3.0.8...Did you get the joke in the achievement "mountain", it's supposed to be impossible at first, but eventually you will overcome it...The only advantage you have to getting closer to 100 is that once the new sets of mounts come, you will be the first served. And then you will beg they don't add too many mounts so that you can be one of the few with it...

Comentario de Impasse

Couldn't you just buy 100 of the level 30 mounts, which are only 9 gold or so?

Comentario de Archoprez

I think this is actually a pretty good question. The 60% flyers count, so why should the 60% land mounts not count? "No, they have to be unique." is some bullsh*t, cuz the superior mounts are as unique as the epic ones. Unique just means they have to be different. u cant buy 100 of the same mount.

Comentario de Niex

You forgot the Bronze Drake from Heroic CoT CoS its a give away if you complete the time event (kill the extra boss within the 25min Timer) also you dont have to kill Mal'Ganis first

Comentario de menemew

thats not correct, it is 30 min timer and you DONT have to kill mal'ganis first just screw arthas and turn left instead of forward and the boss is there, i thought too that you had to kill mal'ganis but when my party turned left and i had talked to arthas he went on the fight without us xD and then we killed the boss THEN Mal'ganis

Comentario de shaymous

Well I can tell you it's not impossible. I finished this up last week, but you have to be dedicated to get it pre 3.1. I went as far as dropping a profession, making the 2 tailoring and 2 eng ones. I also farmed out Raven Lord and Rivendare's mount. Getting both of the 3 drake sarth mounts and a card game mount finished it off. Even after 3.1 it will take some work and it won't be cheap. The Hodir mammoth, traveler mammoth and Motorcycle suck. IMO the dragonhawk isn't even that cool and the fact that to get it I have to have a 310% and it isn't 310% is really dumb. Shaymous - Bonechewer

Comentario de sLiBu

A ground mount with more than 100% speed would be fair for this achivement I think. and it would be more popular. Anyway why arent blizzard breaking the 100% at ground mounts? 120% would be awesome that would be 140% for pallys :)

Every expansion pack comes out with new mounts. WotLK came out with plenty of protodrakes, drakes, mammoths, and war bears. Chances are this achievement will be attainable within two expansion packs (that is, without having to blow all your life's savings on trading cards)

Comentario de Freezin

Alright, currently I have 75 mounts, and i'm trying to find a macro that specifically mounts me up randomly to any epic flyer I have, but if i'm in an area where I can't use a flyer, it will mount me to any epic ground mount, would anyone happen to know of such a thing, if one even exists?

Comentario de Picara

I just remember zul jin quote: "Ya don' have to look to da sky to see da dragonhawk!". and yeah, he was right : ) i will have mine today, 99 /100 on my dk and still can buy the exalted son of hodir mamooth, just 2000g more.

it has been a pain to get exated with loads of factions (as dk) to could buy major cities mounts, netherdrakes, rays etc, those massive farm into stratholme(97), AQ(4 for red one.. wow lucky!), setthek halls, MgT(58), karazhan, ZG, UP, ages fishing or looking arround in storm peak... (w/o luck in mostly btw).

But even if the dragonhawk is not so cool as he should be, or its 280 instead of 310, Im happy to get that "hard" achievement ( not so hard nowadays but i didnt wanna spend months getting the Argent Tournament that i still havent or violet drake).

Comentario de Ixeon

I got this Achivement 2 days ago and i like to share my strategys, this is how to earn it without haveing a proto drake or buying any trading cards, without spending any gold on expensive Travlers or Hog mounts. It will go alot easier if you have a friend helping you with some of the instances. But remember that i were a Paladin, so that makes me start with 2 mounts already, i also hade the Zehvra mount from Friends in High Places.

First off get exalted with your ''home'' Factions, Thunder Bluff, Undercity etc by doing low lvl quest in each of the start zones and then getting the last few reputation with turning in runecloths.

Gold, Farming. Whatever makes you rich, There are alot of mounts you need to buy, Grand Ice Mammuth is the most expensive mount you will have to buy in this strategy guide

The important things to remember while doing this is that you earn alot of gold also, so don´t get upset each day you don´t get a mount, keep trying and it will eventually drop for you. I know there are alot more mounts but this is the easiest way to get it without haveing to roll on a mount with more then just 1 friend. Would be sad in a raid were Ashes of Al'ar Drops and you roll a 1..

Comentario de Doomgrip

Upon completion of this achievement you recieve a letter in your mailbox containing the mount:

From: Mei FrancisSubject: Mountain o' Mounts

I've heard your stables are nearly as extensive as mine, now. Impressive! Perhaps we can help one another...

I've one too many dragonhawks, and hoped you could give this one a home. Naturally it's been trained as a mount and not a hunting pet, and you'll find it as loyal and tireless as any other steed I raise.

Yours again,

Comentario de Nautical

This is a list of mounts according to patch 3.2 on the PTR at the moment. I will edit it to improve upon the list as much as possible, and feel free to point out anything wrong with this list so I can fix it.

TCG Mounts:

Total: 7 Mounts

Blizzcon:

Total: Honestly?

Recruit-a-Friend:

Total: O-N-E.

Arena (Unobtainable):

Total: 5 Mounts

Summary: With ALL mounts except class mounts, as Horde you can get 179 mounts (please correct me if this is wrong). As Alliance, in total, you can get 181 mounts, since they have 2 more unobtainable mounts. Once again, if this is wrong, please correct me. And note that this means ALL mounts, meaning you have to pickup Engineering and Tailoring to get the crafted mounts, buy all old school epic mounts that were available before patch 1.4, have been in the top 0.5% of every arena season, done all raid achievements, gotten all TCG mounts (this will cost you thousands of dollar on Ebay), recruit a friend (or yourself) and last but not at all least, OPEN THE GATES OF AHN'QIRAJ. Likely, noone in the entire world has done all this. So yes, this summary is basically for *!@#s and giggles.

So to make a more logical summary, lets count away the arena mounts and all that ridiculous stuff =P

With only rep mounts, mounts you can buy and the Albino Drake, Red Proto-Drake and Violet Proto-Drake the hardest to get being Red Proto-Drake, you can get 97 mounts. But, if you do Temple of Ahn'Qiraj a couple of times and get the bug mounts there, you can reach 100 without even doing HC achievements for the Red Proto-Drake. With class mounts, the number 100 is alot more easy to reach. So in patch 3.2, the number 100 doesn't seem too hard to reach anymore, thanks to just a couple of mounts Blizzard added. You still have to work hard to reach 100, but you don't have to just be plain lucky with drops etc. to get it. So, there you have it! I will try to improve upon this list as much as I can, so I hope this doesn't get purged right away ;O

Unless I accidentally missed a mount or something this is the full list of mounts in WoW. Remember that this is according to PTR build 10072, so some parts of this list may be subject to change. If you spot any mistakes please mention it in a reply ;) I spent alot of time making this guide, so I hope you have use of it! ^_^ Oh and I tried to make links to all mounts, but since there's a character limit I'm afraid that won't happen. Sorry!

Comentario de Katakain

LOL, so many people complaining and being pessimistic about this achievement so early when it's designed to last the expansion. I saw a few people on my realm with it early 3.1 - 2 priests and a rogue but I'm fairly sure they had engineering/tailoring and TCG mounts, possibly discontinued mounts too.

I play a warrior and I'm not going to drop my mining/blacksmithing professions, the only rare or instance/raid mounts I farmed are the White Hawkstrider from heroic Magister's Terrace, Rivendare's Deathcharger from Stratholme, the Red Proto Drake from Wotlk heroic 5-man achievements, the Black Drake from OS10+3 and the Sea Turtle from fishing Northrend schools.

I've lost the roll on the Blue Proto Drake from heroic Utgarde Pinnacle to a druid who's now quit the game, months of hatching Oracle eggs has only left me with a couple common pets, I've never seen the mounts drop in Zul'gurub or Karazhan and the RNG in the daily I do everyday in Stormpeaks still denies me the White Polar Bear but I'll have this achievement early 3.2 after buying every mount except the 16k traveller's mammoth and grinding champion seals at the Argent Tournament. As more come out during this expansion like the Venomhide Ravasaur which will only take around 20 days for Horde to get, this is easily possible.

Comentario de Callidus2

this should be something cooler than a dragonhawk like a frostwyrm or something since were just gonna be able to get a dragonhawk from the argent tournament anyway...

Comentario de fiver

If you use their extended model (which requires the download of an addon and you run that addon in game to export a list of your mounts), it also lists all of your mounts, tabards, and pets in a nice organized way. So it totally helps if you are going for this achievement. .

Comentario de barbeque

To clear up some confusion, the red dragonhawk is a 280% speed mount, and not a 310% mount. This is rather sad, since many of us who have accumulated 100 mounts already have a 310% mount in our stable somewhere.

Nonetheless, the very striking red color of this mount makes it as eye-catching as a red Ferrari. None of the screenshots submitted does the vibrancy of the red dragonhawk justice. Yeah, it's slower than a 310% mount, but after having to get to exalted with all major cities, the Mag'har, Netherwing, Sha'tari Skyguard, having to accumulate 450 PVP tokens and close to a thousand Champion's Seals, doing every holiday achievement AND farming for rare mounts... You BET your ass I'm going to ride this thing.

Edit: All mounts now scale to your highest riding skill. This can now fly at 310% if you have:1. Trained for it2. Done What a Long, Strange Trip it's Been3. Obtained a 310% raid achievement mount prior to patch 4.01

Reins of the Red Drake (1800g + Wyrmrest Accord Exalted)Reins of the Albino Drake (50 Mount Achievement)Reins of the Bronze Drake (Complete Culling For Stratholm Heroic Within the 20 Mins)

Reins of the Green Proto Drake (Rare Chance From Mysterious Egg, The Oracles Revered)Reins of the Red Proto Drake (Glory of the Hero Achievement)Ironbound Proto Drake (Glory of the Ulduar Raider 10 Man)Rusted Proto Drake (Glory of the Ulduar Raider 25 Man)Time Lost Proto Drake (Drop from a Time Lost Proto Drake Located in Storm Peaks)Violet Proto Drake (What a Long Strange Trip its Been Achievement, (All Season Achievements))

Comentario de mistresshatter

Agreed though, it take a lot of time to obtain, I love this model personally and then it's 280%...trying to go somewhere fast for a raid or something I'm more than likely to use my 310% mounts so it almost goes to waste...

Comentario de Dracomortis

The two major types of flying mounts in Wrath have been for most patches drakes and proto-drakes (frostwyrms are arguably up there as well, but they've only been available for 1 patch, whereas the others have been available from the start). Of the two, drakes are typically much easier to acquire than proto-drakes.

Comentario de Dujour

I got this achievement yesterday about an hour before my realm went down, so I haven't had much time yet with my Dragonhawk but I sure love it.

I did the following to obtain this mount:

Worked on it casually with little spurts of hardcore grinding for about a year(I created my character about 13 months ago).Got exalted with Silvermoon City, Undercity, Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar, Darkspear Trolls, The Sunreavers, The Sons of Hodir, Kirin Tor(for cheaper Mei mounts), The Wyrmrest Accord, The Mag'har, Netherwing, and Cenarion Expedition.Camped the fabled Time-Lost Proto-Drake in the Storm Peaks for four days, and obtained it.Got the Wooly Mammoth on Alliance side, transferred to Horde side, and received the Horde version of the Wooly Mammoth through some sort of glitch.Purchased the Frostwolf Howler and the five PvP mounts for 50,000 honor each.Leveled Engineering to max and obtained all 3 mounts available from the profession. Also leveled Tailoring to max, made the mounts, and dropped the profession.Got the black drake from OS103d.Got the red proto-drake from glory of the hero.Got 8 mounts from the Argent Tournament.Got all 4 mounts from Ahn'Qiraj

I did not get any holiday mounts, Traveler's mammoth, violet drake, blue drake(s), twilight drake, no zulian mounts, no raven lord, no 310% speed mounts, no hawkstrider, no retarded horse, no TCG mounts, no amani war bear or currently unobtainable mounts, no blizzcon mounts, no Hodir 8,000g mammoth, and I know I'm missing a few.

My tip? Don't get lazy with this achievement. Go for it all out or give it up. I went on month long spurts where I simply stopped trying to go for this achievement, and I regret it. It seems like it's a long way off but it's really just a huge rep grind. Do all the dailies you can every day, and you'll get it. It's just a matter of time.

Comentario de Incomingheal

In my point of view you are just a silly little kid, Mathredis.

Well aren't you just a little ray of sunshine.

I also agree that 100 mounts is just too much. Lower it to 75....just like the companion pets achievement. In a year and a half of playing WoW I have gone from 50 mounts to 80. Really all that's left for me are the 1% drop mounts, mounts that cost thousands of gold each (I have epic flying to buy on other characters, you know.), and mounts from achievements/raids that I cannot do on my server. If I drop another few thousand gold and spend weeks of my life grinding champion's seals, then yes maybe that's another 12 mounts. But even then, I still have another 250 to grind to get all the city tabards, etc...

There's no reason this has to be 100. Pet collectors get it easy in both price and amount, their average purchase is like 10g maximum per pet. Meanwhile I had to just drop 200g per drake fro every colour of netherdrake. It's just silly.

The reward is also very underwhelming, especially for horde when we can get a more vibrant dragonhawk for 150 seals. Now an albino proto-drake, that would be awesome..

Comentario de warlock111395

I have a few ideas on how to improve this achievement and its reward.1.Add about 20 mounts to the game or bring back the unarmored epics.2.Change the reward to Ashes of A'lar,although the dragon hawk looks cool i would much rather ride a flaming pheonix.And the dragon hawk is only a 280% speed mount whereas A'lar is 310%.This would also make A'lar easier to get as my math shows to get a 100% chance of A'lar to drop would require 10,000 runs of the eye because the drop rate is only 0.01%.3.Another option is switching Albino Drake for Dragon Hawk,and make Albino Drake a 310% speed mount.

Don't Cry about Horde mounts being less available!.. For Loremaster Horde have to do A lot LESS quests!...

Comentario de NeoJester

I just got this the other day and I really didn't think about the actual achievement until I was around 80 or so mounts. Thats when I stepped my game up on getting what I could.

The rarest mounts I obtained were the Green Proto Drake, Polar Bear, and the Great Brewfest Kodo.

Like most people posting here I was kinda sad about the mount they give you for this. I don't mind the dragonhawk so much as it would be nice to give you 310% seeing as you just obtained 100 mounts and more than likely grinded a lot of those from rep and money.

I still use it every chance I get though.

My current total is 97 mounts.

There are still 2 battle tanks, 7 tournament mounts, Kara, Strat, ZG (until Cata), and all of the Ulduar and ICC achi's, plus the Brewfest and Holloween mounts out there that I don't have...

If I didn't have my X-53 Touring Rocket, 3 Engineering mounts, or Celestial Steed... I'd still have 92 mounts and have plenty of options to obtain the remaining 8.

So as you can see this achievement is pretty easy to get if you're willing to farm the rep and subsequently the Champion Seals without having to farm the more difficult instances like Kara or having to get raid achievements.

Have fun wasting 50k gold and atleast 100-200 hours on an achievement and a mount that's just ugly.

Comentario de jumbodog

And it's this type of arrogance that I find so annoying on WoWhead. It's the reason I down ranked you: arrogance.

You know, not everyone thinks that jousting is fun. Some us find listening to fingers scratching on a blackboard more fun than jousting.

My problem with this achievement is that in order to make it to 100 you are forced to do those damn argent tournament dailies. If you take them out then all of a sudden the path to 100 gets a lot more problematic.

Honestly, I only have 85 mounts. But after years of farming I have the Raven Lord, the Sea Turtle, the Headless Horseman, the Hawkstrider, the Polar Bear, etc. I'm not bragging. But I I probably put in 10x the work you did even though I have 15 less mounts. The Raven mount alone took me over 200 runs.

So yeah, I'm not impressed at all that you went to the Blizzard store, payed $30 or whatever for your sparkle pony, and then you blather on the forums about how easy this achievement is.

I did NOT add any drop/achv or AQ mounts, only mounts that u need no luck and u can get them by farming without a group, also i didnt give a lot of info for the mounts 'cause u can search for the mount/faction in wowhead and u can find a lot of info from comments

Comentario de Tentpegs

I completed my "Mountain o' Mounts achievement on 4/16/2010 and I have to admit, I was sorely disappointed with the "Red Dragonhawk" reward I received in the mail. I, of course, did what everyone did back in those days when they got some new 1337 flyer... I hovered over the well in Dalaran to show it off and waited to bask in the praise of my fellow gamers! Instead I got whispers like "eww, wtf is THAT?" and "wow, did you actually buy that or is it some crappy TCG mount?" I admit, I did get a couple "hey cool, that's the 100 reward huh? is it a 310?" whispers to which I had to reply "no" and then grit my teeth as the inevitable "wow... lame" got whispered back to me.

So, I have been waiting, wondering what the new mount achievement would bring. Will it be some super cool new, never before seen mount? Maybe a 3 seater "Jetsons" style UFO with a glass bubble-top so that the toons inside are visible? Will it go "B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b... (c'mon... you know the sound, who the hell hasn't seen a Jetson's re-run?) as it flies around?Somehow, I'm doubting it. Oh, I know! Maybe a little kitchy-colored clown car with silly looking flowers painted on it that holds an entire raid party? Imagine 10 or 25 people pouring out of a little clown car that, upon exiting the vehicle, puts a clown costume "debuff" on your toon for 10 minutes? Imagine the jealous looks you would get when your guild shows up in their full-on clown warfare outfits (big red shoes, puffball nose, crazy red hair, greasepaint faces) ready to sack Stormwind or Ironforge!

But again, I doubt it. So, rather than sit here and wonder I will embrace the spirit of Proactivity and tell you what I would like to see as a reward for the next mount achievement. Listen up BLIZZ!

I would like to see the opposing factions' mounts "unlock". This would effectively double the mounts a player could get as they head for 200 mounts and the "OMFG are you INSANE?" achievement. Now obviously you can't purchase them (opposing faction and all) so, instead, you have to go kill the mount vendor or vendors that have the mount(s) you desire and hope he/she/it drops the mount you are looking for. Make it a 10% drop rate (or lower if you are feeling cranky Blizz) with each vendor killable only once per day. Or, again, if you are feeling snarky, one vendor per day, period. The mount vendors can be an achievement all by themselves, or it can be a long chain quest with other rewards along the way. Call the achievement "Vendor Render" and/or offer a title for the achievement like "Hoss Thief" or "Cattle Rustler". Something cool, as opposed to the crappy Red Dragonhawk I worked so hard for. Actually, the western motiff for the title would be kinda cool and has possibilites. Maybe the 200 mount reward (aside from the sparkly new title) could be a covered wagon or stagecoach... the possibilities are endless Blizz.! Now get to work!

Comentario de chrizzyp13

just before the release of patch 4.2 several of my friends an myself heard rumors of a new mount achievement possibly 125 an rewarding a dragonhawk mount i myself was in the lead on 113 mounts with my friends around 105-110 about 4 weeks before the release. in the closing weeks i manged to get up to 132 mounts collecting easy mounts such as unlearning my mining skill lvl'n tailoring gettin 3 mounts , unlearning it to get engineering to learn the 2 from there as well as hard to get raid mounts such as the ironbound then the patch hit an no new achievement or mount. i was very disapointed as they had added achievements such as 100 + 125 pets collected. 30,000 gold from quest rewards , 2,500 daily quests completed an so forward. yet for all the mount collecters we are left in the dark for another patch, comon blizz sort somethink out for your hardcore mount collectors!

also just to make it more fun i thought each race should have its own standard flyin mounts. for example horde as follows:orcs windriders,trolls bats, undead get a mount simular to the dk one. belf should have always had the dragonhawk, an not the 100 mount achiv as it was.That should of been a proto-draketauren goblin have a rocket bike, so why not a rocket for a flyin mount ?

allies:human griffiongnomes get their own rofl copter !nelfs hippogryphsdwarf a flyin beer keg with wingsdraenei always thought the nether ray was for them.worgen can turn into a mount, so why not turn into a sort of flight form too, simular to druids :/

sum left blank as i havent thought of a mount for each race. but u get the idea.

Comentario de Razzako

So after all of this gold I spent buying all these mounts being a hunter, all I get is a Red Dragonhawk that even the Sunreaver Dragonhawk you get from the Argent Tournament looks better?

Not worth it :(

Comentario de tobindax

As of 4.2.0 this is relatively easy to obtain since the obtainable mounts are about 150. The hard to get are about 30 to 40 (the ones requiring raid achievements or notoriously low raid drops). Hence with a new toon it shouldn't take more than a couple of months of normal gaming to approach it.

Comentario de Tripfel

anyone know if there there is going to be another mount acheve?

plz dont downrate, this is a question that i am sure many of us would like to know

As a reference, the total cost of my mounts came to approximately:74,759 gold (before faction discounts, of course, and approximating my Vial of the Sands at around 30k since I gathered the mats myself)14,000 Honor Points2,175 Justice Points$50 (Celestial Steed and Winged Guardian), plus however much Recruit-A-Friend costs (Swift Zhevra)

To be fair, I didn't purchase the Celestial Steed and Winged Guardian solely for the mount count either. I bought those a while back because I happen to like them, and they're nice for all my little alts. :3

This is probably the most labor-intensive achievement I've completed to date, and I must say that I couldn't be happier about it. (Except if I could have the Blue Dragonhawk as Horde. Curse you, color coding! *fistshake*)

Comentario de Curtmaster7

Paladins, warlocks and maybe DKs, you may want to read this.I recently contacted a GM about this achievement, I only had 99/100 on the counter, but definitely had 100 in the mounts page. The GM proceeded to tell me that only one of the class specific mounts (charger/warhorse and felsteed/dreadsteed) actually counted towards the achievement, and also told me this was absolutely intended. Their reasoning was fair enough, one mount is already an advantage so two would be too far. Though the Argent Charger from the tournament, while paladin only, is considered to take enough effort to count towards the achievement.

I hope this can help anyone who has the same issue as me.

Comentario de Beefstew

I have looked at several guides on getting this achievement. Some were useful some were useless and complicated. I found this method to be the most helpful since it tells you what you currently have, what you are currently missing and where you can get it. and with this method you get to actually SEE the mounts.

I am also using this method to gather my pets. 2 birds 1 stone.

Follow these instructions. This is what I did:

Look up your character on battle.net (armory). On the main page of your character Click Companions & Mounts (it's a link to the left side of the screen under Summary). You will now see 2 tabs (Companions, Mounts). Click on MountsClick Not CollectedThen to the right side of the screen under the Filters... field, Click Show Advanced Filters.Select Vendor, Quest, Faction

When I did this I noticed that I had not bought any of the Blood Elf Mounts (7 of them) even though I thought I did.

So with this tool you can easily see what you have and what you are missing and then go about getting your 100 mounts! Also use this tool for getting you pets. BAM!

Enjoy!

Comentario de GaitKeeper

(that's where a 1% drop rate becomes 50%).

It never becomes anything other than 1%. EVER. It is a COMMON Misconception that killing a mob for an item with a 20% drop rate that it magically becomes a 40% drop rate if you kill him twice. If you ever took a statistics class, you would learn that the rate becomes 40/200, which is STILL 20%. So you could run it once and get it 100% of the time. Doesn't change the drop rate. It just becomes "More Likely" that you will get it, by the Law of Averages, which doesn't guarantee that if you kill it 5 times you >>will<< get it, it just says that you >>should<< have it after 5 times.

I'm at 95 mounts on all but my lock/dk (the class specific mounts for these two) who have 97 and 96 mounts respectively.

I would say they count towards the achievement now, but will update my post once I have 100 mounts and the achievement.

Comentario de Yvelle

With the new system of account wide mounts, it should be noted that the dragonhawks are also shared with all your toons - even those on the other faction, regardless if those toons would have enough mounts to qualify for the reward. Currently, my alliance toons are over 120 mounts (varying due to class specific mounts), while my horde toons have 77. Yet, all my toons have their faction version of the dragonhawk (blue or red).

Comentario de Stok3d

Comentario de rivellangel

Several people have been reporting getting their mount achievements when they don't seem to have enough mounts (e.g. 48, 97, 145 or whatever). I think the reason for this as follows:

I have noticed that if you have the DK/Warlock/Pally only mounts on one character, although you can't see it on other classes it still counts towards mount achievements (check in statistics on the ach tab for mount total). Therefore if you have a warlock, paladin and DK with their 7 exclusive mounts then you will hit the 50 mount ach when you have 43 other mounts etc.

This DOESN'T work for racial mounts you have on the opposing faction but may count the Paladin elekks/kodos if you have both a blood elf paladin and a Tauren paladin..

Comentario de Shoadowolf

Comentario de Kittay

Comentario de Auto426

I can confirm that at least as of patch 5.2, this achievement does not count all of the class specific mounts across your entire account. It only counts class specific mounts towards that individual character's total.

In attempting to earn the achievement, I reached 97 mounts on my hunter and did not earn the achievement, even though I have a paladin and death knight on my account. Both my paladin and death knight showed 99 mounts in their respective mount windows, as it counted their 2 class specific mounts but no other class specific mounts from another character. Upon purchasing a 98th mount on my hunter, logging in on my paladin awarded me the achievement and the dragon hawk, which I am now able to use on any character on my account, though not all characters show 100 mounts.

The lesson here is that if you are going for this achievement, use your character with the most class specific mounts to keep an accurate count of where you stand towards earning the achievement.

Comentario de madgreek65

- I am maxed on all profs between my 6 toons so I was able to make all of the prof mounts. - I bought 3 or 4 mounts that were on sale at less than 50% of value on AH. I use Auctioneer add-on- I got a few mounts from old dungeon/raid achievements which are easy to do on a 90 toon.- I have a few mounts that dropped from dungeons but I found counting on those drops was a major waste of time. I have done Straholme at least 300 times and have never seen the mount.

- What worked for me was rep grinding. I would go get the appropriate tabard and grind dungeons with my 90 Shammy. I made a lot of money doing this and was able to get most of my mounts from vendors. Some of the vendors sell many mounts once you get exalted. Target those vendors first.

Sadly, I never got my reward for the achievement. I wonder if this has to deal with the new release of WOD.

Comentario de SoCalWoWGal

The overall total mount listing will count Alliance and Horde specific mounts into your over-all count in the Mounts Tab which will make the number significantly higher if you are active on both sides. Additionally, mounts that require a specific class (paladin, death knight, warlock) or a specific profession (tailoring rugs and the like) also will count in the Mount Tab, but if your character can't use it, it will not count towards the achievement.

They count mounts on the character, so when you are alliance, it does not count in the horde mounts. Same with class specific mounts or not counted on other classes.The journal with mounts which shows you your total mounts, are therefore not an indication on how far you are on this achievement.

Comentario de Sabertooth322

At the moment I'm using Simple Armory to see what mounts/companians I'm missing. It's a very useful site. Just look up you're character and it shows every mount you have and every mount you're missing in a very clear sheet. Also using links to Wowhead so it's to look them up here as well.

Comentario de ladymoongirl

Let me see if I can make this more understandable for those that are still confused.

I recently talked to a GM and I have (for the most part) figured this out, although I am still a little confused myself about some things. Below is what I do understand..

Do not look in your Mount tab (Shift + P). Blizzard uses the "usable" mount idea per character. What that means is each toon will have a different number of "usable" mounts depending on Faction, Class and Profession. The actual number in the achievement is misleading, it is the total of ONE toon who can ride that number of mounts. It is your job to find that ONE toon. They will NOT tell you!Check the WoW Armory and you will see the actual number of "usable" mounts for each of your toons. If you have alot like me, it is a painstaking task!Personally I think this is just idiotic, it makes this achievement misleading, more difficult and very confusing!

Comentario de ApocalypticDrew

Okay, so I recently contacted a GM about the mount collecting achievements because I figured. "Hey, I main Alliance, if I get a bunch of Horde mounts, that'll really help my total!" After grinding Argent Tournament dailies into the ground, it turned out I was wrong. After some confusion about what exactly counted towards the total the GM told me why in an incredibly well detailed explanation that I haven't seen anywhere else. So hopefully it will be of some help to everyone else as well as a possible be-all-end-all answer to everyone's questions. I'll copy and paste the message here for your viewing.

"Hey there,

Game Master Trowarves here.

The main confusion we have been seeing with these mount collection achievements, is that the in game mount counter is going to show you both faction's mounts. However the achievement can only be completed on one faction or another because its faction specific. Faction-specific means the Alliance version counts Alliance mounts + Neutral mounts and the Horde version counts Horde mounts + Neutral mounts.

So if you have a bunch of Alliance mounts and a bunch of Horde mounts, they are separate for counting in the achievement. For example, players can't buy up all of the Horde mounts and buy a couple of Alliance ones to equal 100.

Faction mounts cancel each other out between Horde and Alliance as far as mount achieves are concerned. i.e. if someone already had the two Goblin mounts, getting the Worgen mounts did not count as extra mounts towards the achievement. So players only need to focus on one side or the other (Horde, or Alliance), because purchasing mounts from both sides will not count for the achievements together. Class specific mounts also do not count.

So to get a more accurate count for either faction, you can track the achievement itself or go into achievements>collections>mounts and see the progress toward the achievement on that specific faction. However keep in mind that it can also be a bit off because if you are on an Alli toon, it will show the highest mount count across all Alliance toons, but not necessarily the Alliance toon you're on, and any class mounts might make the count a bit different on the characters with those class mounts.

Additionally, PVP mounts are mostly not account wide. So those mounts will only count on the characters they are earned on. Class mounts also only count for the character they are on and do not stack across the whole account. Lock mounts, paladin mount etc. don't add on each other. For example, if you have 98 mounts on a mage, and a paladin you might have has 3 class mounts, you will get the achievement when you log into the paladin and not the mage. Those 3 paladin mounts will not stack with other class mounts like lock mounts etc.

To help see what other mounts you might be able to get you can also use this option:Look up your character on battle.net (armory). On the main page of your characterOpen the Mounts menu in game (Shift+P)Top left, select the Filter optionCheck Not Collected, uncheck Collected You can then sort by Quest, Drops, Profession etcThen if you click on any greyed out mount you do not have, there will be details on where that mount comes from as well as cost for the purchasable ones. :)

I hope this information helps and I wish you very happy hunting from here!

Cheers!"

So there we have it, the achievement is faction specific, certain pvp mounts (I assume vicious saddles) do not count, class mounts don't count, and profession mounts count only if it's usable by the character I assume. Also props to GM Trowarves for being super helpful!
